STRASBOURG, France — Patrick Vieira left as coach of the French club Strasbourg less than one month before the Ligue 1 season starts, making him a candidate to succeed Gregg Berhalter as U.S. national team coach. Strasburg, owned by the parent company of England's Chelsea, said in a statement Vieira left by mutual agreement. He was one year into a three-year contract. The French league season opens Aug. 16. Berhalter was fired last week as U.S. coach after the team's first-round elimination in the Copa America. Vieira previously coached Major League Soccer's New York City, Nice and Crystal Palace.
